  2. I am wildly unqualified to be SecDef, and yet I am more qualified than Hegseth.

  3. We have seen what happens when an unqualified person is in charge.

    When 9/11 happened, W. Bush blanked out for a while before Dick Cheney took the charge.

    This Hesgeth guy is dumber than dumb bell W. Bush. And unlike Bush, he ain’t got his daddy and daddy’s friends to learn on.

  5. When he said he’d “Quit drinking if he was appointed” was probably the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. Otherwise, we’ll be treated to images of him stumbling out of the White House as a “visitor” or lesser cabinet member.

  8. The warrior ethos: heads on a pike regard to who or why, hmmm? a good and righteous Christian?

  9. My kid was going to enlist this year and has decided to go to college instead because of Trump being reelected. She is a badass and would have excelled in military life, but not with these losers in charge.

  11. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, I am def qualified

  13. Imagine living in a timeline where felons and prisoners are sacrificing their lives for fires and if they are still serving a conviction they have their rights stripped down to the core. Yet we just elected a a felon to presidency. but HEY at least we have our first and second amendment rights to lean on.

    Remember DoI:

    “a prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people”

    “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
